> transmission and advises women who are pregnant or want to be-
> come pregnant to get tested for HIV and to discuss it with their

> having a cesarean birth, women can lower the risk of perinatal
> and neonatal transmission of HIV to their infants. To increase
> the chances that their infants will be born healthy, women
> should make sure to get good prenatal care.
